GLEAN4GS FROM
THE STATE PAPERS

Clipping Mad Comment on Several
latestinag Topics.
Tallahassee is now square with the
world. It too, had a first-clas hang-
ing last Friday-the murderer of Su-
perintendentEppes. Even that, how-
ever, failed to place the capital city on
a boom.-Quincy Times.
The True Democrat is not the only
one after the State printer. The Jack-
sonville bar asoeiation passed stirring
resolutions at its session in that city
Saturday condemning the inferior print-
ing of the report of Supreme court.-
White Springs Herald.
It is plain to be seen that all fair-
minded people in Florida are onto the

however, will abide by the decision of
the courts and the people in the State.
It was a fair proposition, and the State
Board of Educatfonal Control will do its
duty. -Gainesville Sun.
Governor Broward 's Everglades drain-
age scheme won him many votes in his
canvass last year, but since the people
have had time to study the question
more closely a strong sentiment is form-
ing against carrying it into effect, and
it is understood that land owners who
are to be taxed to carry on the work
will resort to the courts to stop the col-
lection of taxes levied for that purpose.
-Bradentown Journal.
Congressman Lamar had a large num-
ber of valuable government publications
sent here for distribution at the fair,
but unfortunately they did not arrive
until Saturday night, too late to be
given out. At Mr. Lamar's request we
yve sent him the names of a large
number of farmers who ought to be in-
terested in these matters, and to whom
he will mail them direct. But if your
name should not have been included in
this list and you will write him, either
at Tallahassee or Washington, he will
see to it that you are supplied.-DeFu-
niak Breeze.
What does the Times-Union mean by
charging the State Board of Education
with breach of trust in the university
matter? Had Lake City a divine right
to the school? Was it not an open field
and a fair fight, and did not Gainesville
win in a fair contest? Are the personal
interests of Lake City paramount to the
education of our youth? If the courts
kill the law, where is Lake City bene-
fited? The Legislature, in extraordi-1
nary or regular session would doubtless
re-enact the law, and Gainesville would
win more easily than before. Is Lake
C.ty toting fair under defeat? We,

all these questions at once, and, judg-
ing the future by the past, it will ig-
nore all of them. That paper believes
in the majority rule when it is with the
majority. -Levy Times-Democrat.
Those who know anything about pub-
lic matters in Florida understand that a
long and bitter fight will be the result
of the issue involved in the removal of
the University of Florida, no matter
which way the decision of the Supreme
court goes. The entire blame must rest
, n the shoulders of the Board of Edu-
Cation at Tallahassee, that refused to:
carry out its sacredly pledged promises
to the people of Lake City. In fact,;
tie board, with a bold disregard, ig-
nored its obligation in which were in-.
volved both honor and motives of peace,
and reconciliation in promoting institu-
tions of higher education. Never in the
annals of Florida was a public promise
Is flagrantly violated and disregarded.
'e result will be, when all the facts
arc known, that the board alone must
bear the sting and censure of public
opinion and bear the responsibility for
the issue. Technical excuses will not
suffice. Times-Union.

eand was well prepared for it, for,
besides everything in the way of eata-

he had with him on a very light truck,
of his own construction, the prettiest,
lightest and neatest little row or pless-

than 100 pounds, was prettily deigned,
manufactured of poplar lumber, with a
galvanized iron bottom that came up to
the water mark on the sides and ends.
Mr. B. made the boat himself and of
course feels proud of his work. That
he will get plenty of fish and game is a
certainty, for he is a sportsman and
fisherman of the first rank and knows
almost every foot of the country he has
one to. Many of his Tallahssee
friends "wished they were going with

eye was placed on his neat and trim

The True Democrat office is just
printing the Leon county pamphlet or-
dered some time ago by the County
Commissioners, and copies of it wil
soon be ready for distribution. Every
citizen of the county should endeavor to
have these pamphlets distributed where
they will do the most good, and can
greatly aid the commissioners by send-
ing to the clerk lists of names of non-
residents who may be induced to settle
in Leon county.

We do not run a large double-column
advertisement claiming to be "the best

think the newsiest and best published in

together and draw your own comparison.

The Seaboard Air. Line RallwayCom-
pany having acquired the property and
franchise, of the former Tallahase
Southeastern railroad, extending from
this city to Perry and beyond, through
Leon, Jefferson and Lafayette counties
to the Suwanee river, a new organisa-
tion, to be known as the Tallahaee,
Perry and Southeastern Railway, has
been projected, the charter of which
has been advertised in The True Demo-
crat during the past weeks, with tem.
porary offers as follows: D. E. Max-
well president Geo. P. Raney, vice-
preadent; E. Kyle, secretary and
treasurer.
Contracts have already been let for
construction work on the extension of
the present line, Mr. Blair Burwell, of
Jacksonville, the contractor, having
formerly been chief engineer of the
former Florida Central and Peninsular
Railway. Work has been begun at each
end of the propod new line, and it is
expected to be finished within six
months, completing the main line from
Tallahassee to the Suwannee river.
The route of this extension passes
through the richest timber section of
the State, and when completed, this
road will add much to the already ac-
quired valuable property of the Sea-
board Air Line.
Now that the grading is well under
way, it will be but a short time before
the laying of ties and rails is com-
menced. It will be safe to say that
within another year trains will be in
operation over the new Perry exten-
sion.
The Tallahassee and Southeastern
railway now runs from allahassee to
Wacissa, on the Waciss river, In Jef-
ferson county. The proposed road will
run through Jeffrson county into Tay-
lor county to Perry, connecting there
with the Suwannee and San Pedro rail-
way, now under control of the Florida
Railway Company, at Live Oak.
The building of this road will place a
country in railroad touch which is now
wild and deserted. This road will cross
the Aucills river, the Enconfina river
and Rock creek, a tributary to the Fen-
holloway river, before reaching Perry.
This new road will open up a territory
rich in virgin timber and turpentine
lands, and will no doubt be a paying
investment.
Saved by Dyamlto.
Sometimes a flaming city is saved by
dynamiting a space that the fire can t
cross. Sometimes a cough hangs on so
long you feel as if nothing but dynamite
would cure it. Z. T. Gray, of Calhoun,
Ga., writes: "My wife had a very ag-
gravated cough, which kept her awake
nights. Two physicians could not help
her; so she took Dr. King's New Dis-
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, which eased her cough, gave her
sleep, and finally cured her." Strictly

We sincerely regret the announcement
of the resignation of Editor Fitzgerald,
of the DeSoto County News. He was
doing some excellent work on that ex-
cellent paper, and has doubtless in view
a larger field of usefulness.
You cannot secure a copy of that

market; but, 'tis said, a new edition is
being gotten out. There are copies of
the first edition stored away, but you
waited too late; you can't get one now.
See!
The Florida press is unanimously
praising the proprietors of the Live Oak
Democrat, whose plant was destroyed
by fire last week, and whose energy
and enterprise enabled them tocontinue
the publication of their excellent daily
and weekly newspapers without losing
an issue. The concern is to be incor-
porated, and an entirely new plant has
been ordered.
Encouraged, perhaps, by Governor
Broward's appointment of a woman as
clerk of the circuit court in one of the
eastern counties, friends of a very pop-
ular lady In Duval county are urging
her appointment as superintendent of
the county schools. There is no official
position in our governmental system so
admirably adapted to the administra-
tion of a good and strong woman as
that of school superintendent.
The Gaineville Sun says: "Florida
is a great State for politics. We haven't
got settled up with the old administra-
tions of Governors Bloxham and Jen-
nings before we have candidates bob-
bing up for the executive chair that
Governor Broward has hardly had time
to get warm." ."General Gilchrist

that it is neither judge, jury, pronecut-

Our loquaesis Oad pugnedleus Lake
City contemporary appears to be still
quite dissatisfed with s, apparently
beamuse it emasot laedme or browbeat
us into saying esdy what it wates s
to say, in preelsely the way it wishes
us to say it, in order that t may make
use of aome sort of terMrfeay crushing
answer that It has prepared, or has in
mind, to the thing which it so aadently
desires us to say; the expected result
of this ingenious combination being our
utter and permanent annihilation.
We have already devoted altogether
too much time and space to the muddled
vagaries of our fat friend, and have
half a mind to take no more notice of
his vaporings; but, since we do not wish
to appear so discourteous to a brother
editor, even under great provocation,
we will dispose of the alleged contro-
versy by remarking, once for all, that
we are conducting The True Democrat
according to our own ideas, and shall
not endeavor to do so according to his.
So far as the subject-matter of the
controversy is concerned, that has been
disposed of long ago. We have, from
time to time, submitted to the attention
and judgment of our readers certain
fact*- mostly, if not wholly, matters of
public record-which we believed the
public ought to know, and would be
glad to know, concerning transactions
connected with the conduct of the
State's business, and which, to us,
spelled that ugly word "graft." With
a single other exception which we men-
tioned last week- the Lake City news-
paper is the only one in the State that
has undertaken to deny anything we
have said. Its methods of denial, by
Inference and circumlocution rather than
by the records which we cite and rely
upon for our authority, demonstrate the
utter weakness of its position as the
self-appointed champion of those whose
public acts have been criticised.
Until the Index--or some other-shall
deny the truthfulness of what we have
said, and cite authority for such denial
as worthy of consideration as the public
records to which we have referred as
our authority, there can be no further
occasion for multiplying words upon the
subject, and we shall devote our atten.
tion and space to more important mat-
ters.

So many inquiries are directed to the
True Democrat by prospective settlers
or homeseekers concerning conditions
existing in this part of the country, and
the burden of correspondence entailed
thereby has become so heavy that we
have attempted, in the descriptive arti-
cle found in this issue, to summarize
such information as is most important,
and to answer the questions most fre-
quently asked. It is hoped by this
means that a sample copy of the paper,
of which a large number have been
sent out, will, in most cases, serve the
purpose intended better than a personal
letter. Specific information may be
obtained by writing to any of the real

ought to be,a high and lofty one; and
the editor ought to give expression to a
high public sentiment upon a higher
plane, if the plane is not already high.
We are afflicted with a sprinkling of
editors who sell editorial for so much
an inch, sentiment thrown in. Some
of our people are not aware of this, and
take for granted that the writings of
such scribblers are founded on fact,
that they are the writings of some wise
man-wiser than themselves. Did the
people know that these newspaper writ-
ers did not investigate the matter of
which they write at all, they would not
be so credulous.
If there are any Florida editors "who
sell editorial for so much an inch," the
remarks of Governor Broward concern-
ing them arM altogether too mild. Sum-
mary expulsion from the ranks of the
profession would be too gentle a pun-
ishment to fit the crime with which
Governor Broward charges them. And
if he knows of any such he should, in
the interest of clean methods and public
decency, make known their names and
furnish the evidence upon which to con-
demn them.

you are doing twice as meh ztn
work as you have str th health a
time for.
Thanksgiving is really the most whole
some and delightful festival of the year,
It is distinctly our own. We Amerlam
have originated it, and we ought to be
proud of it, yet most of us are doing
much to poll it with overzeal. W4
have too long dinners, too elaborate
decorations, too much house-cleaning
before and after. We are cumbered
with too much care. And so the day
which should be thrilling with tender
memories, joyous with a sense of re-
membered blessings, peaceful with a
surety of forgotten ills, and prophetic
of gladness because of courage and
comfort, because of hope, is just a
weariness of the flesh. We drop ex-
hausted into our chair for dinner and
are glad to say good-bye to the dear,
long-expected guests.
It is partly vanity that makes us
overdo this delightsome festival. We
think we are sacrificing ourselves to
give others happiness, but, in point of
fact, we are straining to create an ef-
fect. We do love to welcome our
friends, but also we do want them to
have the most elaborate dinner and to
see the prettiest dining room in town,
and what they remember longest is just
that the hostess looked ill and that all
the family seemed out of sorts. So it
isn't worth it.
Real hospitality is in what the hostess
gives of herself, not what she gives of
her substance. Do things simply and
have a good time yourself, dear Thanks-
giving mother or aunt or sister. Have
fewer courses and more smiles. Who
is so base a materialist that he wouldn't
give up a chicken pie for a cheerful
hostess?
At the very start, don't wear your-
self out cleaning house and getting
ready. You have got to clean up after
Thanksgiving, so why bother before?
Just have the house brushed and dusted
as you would any week. If the carpet
and wood-work need a little brightening,
wipe them over with warm borax water,
a teaspoonful of borax to a basin of
water. A few minutes will do a room,
without scrubbing or rubbing or fatigue.
Fill a pan with boiling water, add half
a small cup of borax dissolved. Leave
the silver in the water ten minutes,
rinse in boiling water and then dry first
with a towel, next with chamois.-Mrs.
Nellie Gray, in Metropolis.
IKRE'S ANOTHER.
We must beg Appleyard's pardon.
We innocently assumed that there could-
not possibly be such another as he in
the entire State. We were mistaken.
Witness the following, from the Plant
City Courier:
While we very much admire the spirit
of fearlessness displayed by the editor
of The True Democrat, we think him
entirely too strong in his prejudices-
so strong, in fact, that he allows his
prejudices sometimes to lead him into
error. The editor of the Courier did
not support Governor Jennings in his
candidacy for United States Senator,
nor did we always agree with him while
Governor, or since his term expired,
iut we believe in giving even the devil
his dues; and, in all fairness, we must
say that Governor Jennings gave the
State of Florida one of the best admin-
strations it ever had. The editor of
The True Democrat is devoting all his
ime and attention, it seems, in trying
o find something rotten in Mr. Jen-
lings' administration of some threat-
*ned wrongdoing in Governor Broward's
policy of government. There is noth.
ng to be gained b criticising an ad-
ministration that has already passed
nto history, especially so far as it re-
ates to a man who has retired from
wlitics. The mill will never be turned
'ith the water that has passed.
There is an old saying to the effect
hat none is so blind as he who refuses
o nee. It applies in this particular case.

effect that a suitable site has been
offered which will be acceptable to the

The natural pasturage of Leon county makes it possi-
ble to extensively enlarge this industry with the addi-
tion of some cultivated pastures. The equable climate,
the abundance of water and forage greatly reduce the
labor attached to this work in other districts.
The four annual grasses-the crab grass, crow-foot
grass, barn grass and water grass-furnish the princi-
pal hay supplies, these seed themselves coming up in
abundance when the land is stirred. Besides these, the
Bermuda, sedge and smut grasses are perennial, and
chemical analysis shows them to be rich in nutritive
qualities.
The desmodium, known as the beggar weed, grows
rank and luxuriant after the corn crop is laid by in June.
This weed fully equals clover in its nutritious elements,
and stock prefer it, green or dry, to any other forage.
This weed can be cured and baled in the same way as
other hays. All of these grasses, with sorghum cane,
cattail millet, German millet, cowpeas, cloct beans, tur-
nips', carrots, with field corn planted for ensilage, fur-
nish an inexhaustible supply of forage for stock of all
kinds.
As good water, an abundance of reliable pasture,
mild climate and freedom from cattle diseases form the
principal requisites for successful stock raising and
dairying, the above stated facts place Leon county in

out, are well aware, i:-,ce there is
now no vice president, that the elec-
tion of President Palma's successor
would, according to the constitution,
.1 be in the hands of congress, and that
the liberals, with the help of a few
Independents, could control both
ho:.'ses.
The government has not revealed its
information as to the extent of these
plots, but si.ecial measures have been
taken for guarding the palace. The
facts that the president and his fain-
ily are remaining at home, and that
troops are being sent to the points
where, according to reports, the plot
ting originated, are considered signiti-
cant. So far as known, however, thlc.i
plots are not generally backed by any
large party, and, whether they are-
widespread or otherwise, the active
watchfulness against any form of up-

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
About to yieatrs ago I wasa great suf-
ferer from a everer female trouble. paijls and
headaches. Thedwt'r reserireiy fortune and
finally told nw that I had a tumor on the
womb and nit under o an operation if I
wanted to get well. I felt that this was m
death warrant, but I spent hundreds of (do.
lars for medieal help, but the tunior kept
growing. Fortunately I corresponded with
an aunt in the New England States, and she
advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-
table Compound, as it was said to cure tu-
more. I dd so and immediately began to
improve in health, and I was entirely cured,
the tumor disappearing entirely, without an
operation. I wish every suffering woman
Would try this great preparation."
Just as surely as Mis Adams was
cured of the troubles enumerated in
her letter, just so surely will Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure

from womb troubles, inflammation of
the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous
excitability and nervous prostration.

Kitten In a Mall Sack.

a mail clerk ever took In off a mail

At a little station call d Vienna,
where a mail sack is taken from a
crane, as the train does not s:op, the
mail clerks the oth-r morning nidie
the regular grab for the mail poui-h,
and after opening it found that a live
kitten had either heen put in it 1y
someone or had gotten in accidentally
and had been delivered with the trail
in that rough way to the c-r.
An examination of the kitten
showed that one of its legs was slight.
ly bruised, otherwise it did rot ap-
pear to be injured. Since then it
has been making the regular trips in
the mail car and the clerks are very
much attached to it.

Shrewd Cats.
Chief Clerk Samuel Roop, of the
Bureau of Police, who is a close stu-
dent of animal life, relates an incident
coming under his personal observa-
tion which goes far to prove the rea-
soning power of the feline tribe. "For
sw'vral )ears," said Mr. lool) recent-
ly, "a black cat gr(,w .slh l

lieve it or not, as you like, but every
one of those cats was black, and I can
only assume that each expected to
impersonate the dead feline and step
into his shoes, metaphorically speak-
ing, unchallenged. One fellow, a dead
ringer for the unfortunate tabby,
thrashed all the others, and actually
palmed himself off on the storekeep-
er, who knew nothing about the acci-
dent, as the real pet. The grocery
man didn't have the heart to fire him
out when he learned the truth, and
the new cat is waxing as sleek as his
predecessor."- Philadelphia Record.

HORROR OF THE DEEP.

Over Hundred Lives Reported Lost in
Sinking of a Steamer Off the
French Coast.
A London special says: The cross-
channel steamer Hilda, from South-
amptou for St. Malo, struck a rock
and sank off the French coast Sunday
morning. One hundred and twenty-
three lives were lost. Six persons
were saved.
The Hilda left Southampton Friday
night for St. Malo with considerably
more than one hundred souls on
board. Her passage was greatly de-
iayed by a fog in the channel, and.
when nearing St. Malo, she ran into
a severe snow storm, apparently miss-
ed her course and foundered on the
rocks off Jardin light house, three
miles from St. Malo.
The company's steamer Ada. out-
bound from St. Malo,. rescued five ot
the passengers and one of the crew.
The Hilda was built at Glasgow in
1862 and registered I 1 tons. She was
a screw steamer of iron construction,
235 feet in length.
T'ho Southwestern Railway compa.
ny Is as yet unable to give a list
of the Hilda's passengers, nearly all
of whom were Frenchmen, but they
cay that a score booked passage at
stations between London and South-
ampton, and that, to the best of their
knowledge and belief, nine of these
were drowned and only six saved.
The company Is still without re-
liable details as to how the disaster
happened.

in Worklca Appeal to Soldiers
and Sailors.

A mutiny in the Manchuria& army,
Is the latest sensational rumor in St.
Petersburg.
According to the report, the em-
peror has received a dispatch from
General Linevitch, telling him of .a
revolt among the troops, which was
suppress.d only after a regular fight,
In which many soldiers were killed
or wounded.
Forty-two officers are reported t3
have been shot for participation in
the conspi racy. No confirmation of the
rumor is obtainable from the officials
of the war office.
Troops have taken possession of
the Moscow railroad station and the
road will be reopened by means of
railroad battalions. The resumptiott
of traffic on this road insured sup*
plies for the capital.
The workmen's organization Friday
addressed the following appeal to the
soldiers and sailors:
"Comrades and Brothers: For a
long time we have misunderstood eacih

.ard us as enemies of the fatherland
i.nd as crindnals whom you should

shoot. beat with your whips and
butcher with your bayonets. Our
struggle for the people's freedom and
the people's well being has been de-
rtlted to you as a revolution against
the fatherland, which you are obliged
to suppreis.
'Many of you, believing this, have
shot your own brothers, tilling thO
streets of our towns with blood. The
case is now altered. The eyes of
many of the soldiers and sailors have
been opened. They understand that
all of us are brothers, and that we
are sons of the same nation whose
common enemies are your command.

Last year physical inability prevented
the observance of our usual custom, p
now there is a period of two years to b
considered in which there is a market
contrast from the fact that in th
former year the number of those wh
passedfrom us was unusually large
while in the latter It is the smallet I

But they are the church's chi rien a

work; and though it may be said tha
temporarily they are in darkness, y
she looks forward to the time whe
will be spoken the word of poew
"show yourselves." And knowing tha
it is not for her to pass Judgmentupo
any, she commits every soul to Hie
who always doeth right. They are o
her family still, though that whie
seems to be but darkness hides then
from mortal vision. To her there
neither age nor condition. She give
the baby into the arms of God, an
commits to Him with equal affection
the soul tried and wearied with life
experience. Riches cannot buy a wor
to add to her commitment, nor ca
poverty take from It a single syllable.
Over and over we have Injured her b

God has bestowed upon her a portion o

that has gone before, and to leave th

No human eye can penetrate th
darkness to tell us what it conceals
Can we not believe that somewhere i
the limitless space of eternity there wi
be found room for every 3oul that ha

hope, faint indeed when we think o
the weakness of our nature, but grow
Ing stronger as we recognize the
strength of the wonderful love tha
spared not the only begotten Son. An
now, when the season reminds us of al
the saints, whether still amid life'
trials or gone beyond, let us give ou
thoughts for a few moments to those
who were so lately with us.
The Thanksgiving praise had scarce
ly died from the church when the words
of the burial service were held on Sun
day afternoon--thanksgiving also, ai
well as sadness for the body had suf
fered long. Life left it suddenly be
tween morning and evening an ending
which was not unexpected by either
himself or his family. The year 1904
was still young when. in the darkness
and rain of a January Sunday, we met
here to accompany to the cemetery the
body of one who was Iteginning to be
known in political life. IHaving neither
wife nor family, the limits of his use-
fulness seemed to have been put only
by himself. Four days after, the full-

Our stock will be found to contain the latest novelties as well as all Standard goods. We are making preparations to be
able to execute promptly any order we may receive for any kind of furniture, and house and office furnishings.
"To fill a long felt want" we will inaugurate a repair department for high grade furniture, which will be in charge of one
of the most skillful workmen obtainable.
It would afford us great satisfaction to be able to announce a strictly cash, pay-as-you-go, policy; but it is our opinion that
in a business the size of ours, in dear old Tallahassee, the plan would not work, still, the merchant who extends credit indiscriminately
must either "lose out" or charge exhorbitant prices in order that the good customer shall pay the debts of the one who never pays.
We may be beaten by some, but we intend to reduce to the minimum the number of those who buy goods on credit of us and never
pay. Persons unknown to us must show us their ability and willingness to pay as agreed upon. By selling largely for cash and in-
sisting upon a strict adherence to a careful credit policy we will be able to offer our goods at the lowest possible figures.
To customers of small means, whose reputation and references show them to be worthy of it, we will extend the installment
plan of purchasing.

If we can offer you the best goods, the lowest
